IFS/The Flaherty In Solidarity

A friendly tipster just forwarded us the following info:

IFS/THE FLAHERTY WITHDRAWS ITS CO-SPONSORING of NYU EVENT

In light of the continuing strike of the Graduate Students Union at NYU, The Flaherty withdraws its sponsorship of the program dedicated to "A Case Study of the March of the Penguins" to be held at the Cantor Film Center at NYU. The Flaherty has always supported the GSOC/Local 2110 and wants to express its solidarity with the GSOC members on strike and their determination to win a fair contract.

This is the second hit the Film School has taken as a result of the strike. To Ms. De la Vega-Hurtado and everyone else at IFS/The Flaherty, GSOC strikers extend our sincerest gratitude for your support. Solidarity.
